Five Corners Near Wall Street Possibly 1924 - 1981

"Five Corners Near Wall Street" is a striking black and white photograph by Ralph Steiner, dating back to sometime between 1924 and 1981. The image captures the towering skyscrapers of New York City from a low angle, emphasizing their sheer size and verticality. Steiner's composition, with its dramatic perspective, evokes a sense of awe and the burgeoning urban landscape of the early 20th century. The photograph is a quintessential example of the "New Vision" movement, a style of photography that emphasized abstraction and experimentation with form.
